Chasing a ghost

We only see the reflection of ourselves,
not the original behind it.

Our life is only a reflection,
it is not the life behind it.

We have identified ourselves with this reflection
and have forgotten ourselves in this process.

The world appears in this light of illusion,
like the moonlight that does not shine from itself.

We have taken shape,
have become our own reflection.

We are making fools of ourselves,
chasing a shadow
